Abstract
The recruitment and selection of individuals to occupy sensitive positions, including Governors, governors of district, and rural municipals, must be subject to specific laws and regulations so that qualified individuals can be employed for these positions. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method to address the question of what legal challenges exist regarding the recruitment and appointment of Governors, governors of district, and rural municipals. The results showed that in relation to the appointment of districts and governors, referring to other laws and generalizing in this regard has led to a lack of transparency and a lack of a specific reference. There are also specialized laws such as the “Approval of the Plan to Determine the Duties and Authorities of Governors and the Procedure for Their Dismissal and Appointment” approved in 1998 and the “Executive Instructions for the General and Specific Conditions for the Selection and Appointment of Governors and District Heads” approved in 2016, which require their consolidation under a single law and the expression of examples of appointing districts and governors in terms of education, background, and other specialized characteristics. According to existing laws, the Dehyaris are also considered subordinate to the Ministry of Interior, but in employment, they are subject to the provisions of the Labor Law. This simultaneous affiliation with the Ministry of Interior in terms of organization and compliance with the provisions of the Labor Law has created a kind of duality that leads to the violation of the rights of those employed in this institution.
